What is a good conversion rate for youtube/video content?

3 replies
We are targeting specific local keywords, and I'm trying to get a better understanding for video marketing on youtube.

It seems right now, that out of every 100 views we get on our videos, we'll typically get 2 calls. Then once those calls come in, the quality of the leads is outstanding. Its almost unlike any other medium I've ever used before. So this has really got me focused on video now.

My problem is this. We are targeting specific local keywords.
But they are not highly specific. I'm not gonna mention the exact keywords, but they would essentially be the same as something like:

"carpet cleaning ny".

Just so you get the idea.
Say you were targeting that keyword on youtube. And got a video ranked on page 1 of youtube. Out of every 100 views, what would be a good conversion from video to phone?

I know this depends a lot on the video content, but thats actually why I'm asking. Right now we're around 2%. I feel like our videos have room for improvement, but I still feel like their good. It takes me a good couple of hours just to put a 3 min video together.

They are not commercial looking, but more personal which I think is good for local businesses. Although I sometimes wonder if they should be more commercialized in appearance.

Anyway, should I be getting more than a couple calls per 100 views?

Thanks guys! - Red

    Hey Red,

    Are you running the phone # in the description?

    I've never tried that but I have some videos with around 18% CTR. I don't know how that would transfer to phone calls but I would think two well qualified leads per hundred is not bad to start.

    Like you say, you can always improve on that. Let us know how it goes.

    I'm not sure if youtube works great with phone #. Have never tried it.. Instead of

    Youtube --> Phone call --> sales

    why not do it this way

    Youtube --> Website/landing-page --> Phone call --> sales

    I reckon that people in youtube are more comfortable clicking through to a website rather than dialling a phone number.

    Don't just take my words, just do what you think is best and see how it goes.. I might be wrong.

    Also, the quality of your video will determine the conversion rate.
